Install FreeBSD 3.0 with no problems 2). Install FreeBSD 3.2 with no problems 3). Upgrade Debian Linux from Hamm to Slink with no problems 4). Install OS/2 Warp4 (and fixpaks) with no problems? Also, I just as I was getting ready to get it bed, I turned on another computer (P166) and tried it. Guess what? It caught the signal 11 at the exact same spot. BTW- there is nothing above that is meant sarcastically :) I am only pointing out what I have done with the machine recently :) And yes, 3.2, Debian, OS/2, and windud95 are all on the same machine running!
